QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) it was weird. I dont understand why there were fans in that area watching the interview to be honest. The fans were walking to the Scout Seats Lounge from their game seats. They have a path blocked off and you walk near the visitor clubhouse entrance.

Thank you!

Hey Guys, I need to know which MLB Manger had the most ejections this year. I have no idea where to look and please help. Thanks!

It was obvious that we were going to get a first time manager (Martinez, McEwing, Alomar). They were not going to give Francona big money. They were not going to get in a bidding war with Boston or anyone else for Martinez (I have read and heard he will be an option in Boston). The Sox are going to get younger, dump salary, and Robin seems like a good baseball person and he is well respected. I love how people are giving up on a guy that has not even been given a chance yet. He could be great or he could be real bad, but hiring a guy with little experience should not be surprising. Baseball history has a ton of examples of young mangers doing well and winning. I am happy with the hire knowing the direction the team will be going in. This isn't really all that different from the hiring of our last manager.

FWIW.....I was in Baltimore a few years back and did the stadium tour. I was told that the design group that created their ballpark first pitched the design to the White Sox ownership, but that it was turned down. The Sox claimed that they wanted a "new design" and did not want to have an old time feel to their new park. New Comiskey was approved to be built right before the boom of "old time" new parks like Baltimore. Baltimore did make changes to the original design (warehouse & the stadium is built into the ground. You enter the park on the main concourse). Sox ownership wanted a brand new concept for their park without obstructed views. Today there are obstructed views due to the batters eye and upper deck supports. I think it is a great place to watch the game and I enjoy going to the park. I know there are better parks out there, but it could be worse. We could be in Tampa.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 07:43 AM) I liked the draft episode a lot. However, last night's episodes featured like 5 minutes of stuff behind the scenes, and 18 minutes of game highlights, etc. I thought it would have been interesting if they showed the meeting when it was discussed who would be called up for Peavy, etc. I agree with you 100% The show is even using a ton of stock footage. Many views of the park show a ton of old blue seats. They are also repeating numerous interesting clips from previous shows. There is a lot of filler in each episode and very little behind the scenes. I still think it is fun to watch and I am enjoying them, but I expected more. I really wanted them to get into the Zambrano stuff and the Ozzie point of view, but it didn't happen. The draft episode was the best so far and I am looking forward to the trade deadline episode. I just do not want to sit through a "we love Jackson and we always wanted to keep him" episode.

Does anyone else find it odd that the Sox are not getting any money in return from Arizona? Usually the Sox get money back in a trade and IMO this is a tell that Jackson is going to be move for another player(s). Thoughts?

HELL YES! PK is just unbelievable!

Great Play Paulie! I can not imagine not having him over there. He has saved this team so many runs and errors over the years.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Awesome shots. What kind of camera/lenses did you use? I have a Sony Cyber Shot digital camera. I am very spoiled and lucky to share in those seats. The family has had access to half the home games for some time now. I have more pics from Opening Day and past games. I will have to dig through everything and post. Thanks for the great comments!

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in some time, but I went to the game yesterday and wanted to share some pictures. I am not sure if I should post the pictures directly, so I will include a link. Please let me know if there are any issues and I hope you enjoy. Thanks! Facebook - Opening Day

Jayson Stark is reporting that the Brewers have signed LaTroy Hawkins for 2 years 7.5 million.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) I remember the days of Rodney Bolton, Cris Clemons and Tom Fordham. Oh yeah. And who can forget the Ken Hill experiment? You beat me to Ken Hill.....I still remeber watching that game and he was oh so bad!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Gotta love that we didn't even have anyone warming up. I know there is a lot of Ozzie bashing and I don't like to b**** about him, but he is just not making good in game moves right now. I hope he is not burned out and ready to throw in the towel.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) Because Castro only has a career line of .308/.400/.923 in 13 at-bats against Dontrelle. If the press had any balls, they would ask Ozzie about Castro not playing with those numbers. That just makes me want to throw something in disgust.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) Absolutely dreadful by AJP tonight. If you're not going to play Castro against Willis, why even have him on the team? I agree......you wonder if Ozzie is afraid to handle A.J. if he explodes about playing time. I understand A.J. wants to play everyday, but it should be whats best for the team.

so much for that......that was pretty f***in weak.

I want to see A.J. face Willis again. Come on Paul, get a big clutch hit.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) A rare HR call by Hawk that, at least initially, did not involve You Can Put It On the Board It was weird hearing him say "it's outta here!" Hawk thought the same thing I did, ball in the gap - I still cant believe that got out.

Thank you for showing up tonight Brian. 2 run shot!

I have to admit, it was great seeing 2 sac bunts and a clutch hit in one inning. It has been a long time since I have seen that. Unfortunately it was the wrong team. Thats how we should be playing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2008 -> 08:04 PM) Hawk seems happier that the Twins took the lead than if the White Sox are winning. Hawk has not bothered me until this season. Enough is enough. I used to think of him as the crazy uncle that you would just laugh off stupid comments but he is really getting under my skin. Did we just get waxed by the Twins? Are we playing the Twins tonight? NO! Please STOP talking about them!

What is with the 6th inning? Danks and Javy just can not get past this inning.
